RE: LVLCHK *NO

But what happens in the case where a programmer makes a change to a
file, eg adding a field as part of an emergency fix, 
but does not recompile all the other programs that use it.

I wasn't saying that its the way I would do things, just explaining why
some packages may use it.
I agree that it does cause problems.
